Signing off from the academia / research / writing meme stash for 2025. If you're dropping into the REDs conference or heading to QPR next year, be sure to get more meme-related content from me @tseenster.bsky.social 🎉 (I like to think I'm around 10% more fun than depicted here) #academicsky #resdev
A painting of two women, seated together. One looking concerned, and placing her hand on the knee of the other, with text that reads: "Who hurt you?" The other woman, looking downwards and sad, while picking petals from a daisy, has text overlaid that reads: "Reviewer 2"
Squeezing in another Reviewer 2 meme before the year is out. Got some Reviewer 2 memes in your own academia / writing / research meme stash? Send them my way! #academicsky #academicchatter #PhDchat #resdev #resdevmemes
Overall text reads: "Unbelievable". Below that, two images of a frying pan. The first image is full of spinach and has accompanying text: "amount of reading I did". The second image (presumably after the process of wilting) shows only one small, shrunken piece of spinach with accompanying text: "citations I got out of it."
Except, sadly, it is believable. Today I offer you a spinach-based insight from the research / writing / academia meme stash. #highered #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #resdev #resdevmemes
Overview text reads: "Fellow academic writers, as we are about to begin a new week, I come bearing bad news." Three images of Peter Parker (from 1960s Spiderman comics) follow. The first is a man reading a book titled "how to stop stressing about writing." The second is a reverse view of the man reading a page in the book that says: "complete the writing". The final image is a close up of the man's face, showing that he is crying. A take on the Peter Parker reading meme.
Not feeling super meme-y for all of the reasons today but am determined to get a meme from the research / writing / academia meme stash out, each day, for my last few 2025 work days. This throwback to a @raulpachecovega.bsky.social classic is apt for a Monday. #resdev #academicsky #academicchatter
First image shows a lovely looking cake in the form of Elmo. Text reads: "Journal referencing guidelines". Second image shows a cake fail of the same Elmo, with wonky eyes, running icing, a misshapen nose. It's barely recognisable. Text reads: "Referencing list in my multi-author manuscript."
There is something about cake fails that really cracks me up. So this gem from the academia / writing / research meme stash always puts a smile on my face (bonus points if you lived through or still do manual referencing 🙌) #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #resdev #highered #resdevmemes
A rainbow lorikeet looking as though it is angrily side-eyeing the camera. Text in a speech bubble reads: "Shouldn't you be writing?"
Does having a judgemental lorikeet staring at you help you to write? Print this out, stick it on or next to your computer and see what happens! #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #resdev #highered #suaw
A split image with the ORCID ID logo in the top left and bottom right corners. On one side, an image of an intimidating orc saying 'Hi there! I'm Colin!' On the other side, a image of orcid flowers.
Righto, 8 memes left from the academia / writing / research meme stash to meet my remaining one-meme-a-working day aim for the rest of the year! 😱 So, when it comes to ORCID, which side are you on? #academicsky #academicchatter #resdev #PhDchat #resdevmemes #highered
Highly recommend improving your experience of using Google Scholar by singing this softly to yourself every time you hit search.
Another classic from the academia / writing / research memes stash. #highered #academicchatter #academicsky #resdev #resdevmemes #PhDchat
We've been deep in conference season here in Australia. So it may be too late for #AcademicCoachTaylor's take...yeah nah. It's never too late.

Text reads: My unpublished papers from a previous project getting together with the unpublished ones from a new project. Image: the teenage mutant ninja turtles shaking hands with the power rangers
#AcWriMo might be over but the academia / writing / research memes continue. A familiar vibe for many of us, I imagine... #academicsky #academicchatter #PhDchat #resdev #highered
I enjoy this meme.
The Grade 6 class I was talking to a few years ago about research integrity did not.
Look out for it in one of my #resdev sessions in the future.

Shout out to anyone else working on edits this #AcWriMo - and a great chance to share one of my fave #resdev cartoons from the academic / writing / research meme stash. #academicsky #academichatter #PhDchat 🎈
Perfect mood for day one of a three-day writing retreat 🙌 And an excellent lunch activity if you need a little pick-me-up. 📖

How far we are into #AcWriMo seems to directly correspond to the number of tabs I have open... whenever I feel badly about this, I just remind myself that I defo have less than 7500 tabs open, so I'm okay 😅 #resdev #highered #academicsky #academicchatter #PhDchat
I have been remiss with my #resdevmemes. This one's not a meme as much as one of my favourite subtweets. So many occasions to share it when one works in academia.
I'm not worthy to follow in the footsteps of @drmeagantyler.bsky.social 😶🌫️
#resdev #academicsky
Mid- #AcWriMo mood. The academia / writing / research meme stash always has the goods! 🙌 #highered #academicsky #resdev #academicchatter #PhDchat
A quality option for lifting the spirits if you're confronting a first draft this #AcWriMo!
#highered #academicsky #academicchatter #resdev #phdchat
More #AcWriMo inspo for you all! 😳
With thanks to @redpenblackpen.bsky.social

Another day, another meme. This time, one of the greatest frustrations of researcher life. #highered #academicsky #academicchatter #resdev
The academia / writing / research meme stash continues to throw open its goodness. Or sadness as the case may be for this one... 😢 #highered #resdev #academicchatter #academicsky
The academic-y / writing / research meme side quest continues! This one is for any fellow em dash lovers out there. Although it doesn't account for the additional sadness of questioning your own em dash use b/c now everyone thinks it's AI 😭 #highered #academicsky #academicchatter #resdev #AcWriMo
How's everyone's Academic Writing Month going so far? #AcWriMo #highered #academicchatter #PhDchat #resdev
One of my all-time faves from the academia / writing / research meme stash. #resdev #academicchatter #academiclife #phdchat #highered
And some alternative Halloween x academia/research/writing meme options for you, today, as well 👻 #highered #academicsky #resdev
More academia / writing / research meme-ing. Some quality Halloween-themed content here, I feel 🎃 #highered #academicsky #resdev
And your alternative meme option for when things actually work out ok. #highered #academicsky #resdev
The writing / academic-ish / research meme side-quest continues! And with halloween almost upon us, what could be scarier than Reviewer 2? #highered #academicsky #resdev
